Haplophryne mollis[edit]
Female with two attached males
... that many female ghostly seadevils never encounter a male in the deep ocean in which they live?

5x expanded by Cwmhiraeth (talk). Self-nominated at 07:42, 8 January 2016 (UTC).
Article is recently expanded >5x, appropriately referenced, timely nominated, interesting and neutral. Hook is short enough, and hook facts are cited in the article. First part of the hook is verified in online book reference. By checking the second part of the hook ("in the deep ocean in which they live", linking to mesopelagic zone), I observed that the cited reference says that Haplophryne mollis is "bathypelagic", and "also mesopelagic". While the article only says " it is found in the mesopelagic zone". This inconsistence should probably be clarified. Spot checks did not reveal close paraphrasing. QPQ done.
